ahh, you beat me to it. . .


as for the news. Thanks Brian for the update. People can joke all they want - and rightfully so, but this is yet one more good thing the band has going for them. As much as the stereotypical A&F teenie bobbers annoy me, this is a good market to sell the band to... they're all rich wink.gif

So I would just like to say an official thank you to the powers that be for telling us this news. That's what I'm talking about. We didn't have to find out about this from The Nashville Scene or murfreesbored.com. Keep the good news coming!

They do always seem to have pretty good music in the stores. And the catalogs always are surrounded with controversy!
That's so NA.

So will they actually play The Beginning in their stores???

I assumed. I thought stores like that stream in music from their own magical corporate satellite, or play a CD they're issued.

From their website:

The Features
Track: “The Beginning (Week One)”
CD: The Beginning

The British are coming, the British are coming! Okay, so maybe The Features aren’t British, but their neo-revisionist pop will definitely remind you of the classic British pop from back in your parent’s day. Full of vintage synthetic melodies and over energized beats, our featured track “The Beginning (Week One)” is a compositionally watertight song from an amazing concept album.
That's so NA.

"You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch!"
No, you're both right:

Yeah, I Like it when the girls stop by
In the summer
Do you remember?
Do you remember
When we met that summer...
Chorus 1:
New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the
summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
since that summer
Hip-hop mama layed Spic & Span
Met you one summer and it all began
You're the best girl that I ever did see
The great Larry Bird, jersey 33
When you take a sip, you buzz like a hornet Billy
Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
Call me Willy Whistle cause I can't speak baby
Somethin' in your eyes went and drove me crazy
Now I can't forget you and it makes me mad Left one
day and never came back
Stayed all summer then went back home
McCaullay Culkin wasn't home alone
Fell deep in love, but now we ain't speakin'
Michael J. Fox was Alex P. Keaton
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
Chorus 2
New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the
summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
since that summer
Cherry Pez, Coke, Crush Rock, Stud Boogie
Used to hate school, so I had to play hookie
Always been hip to the b-boy style
Known to act wild and make a girl smile
Love New Edition and the "Candy Girl"
Remind me of you because you rock my world
You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow
You love hip-hop and rock & roll
Dad took off when you were 4 years old
There was a good man named Paul Revere
I feel much better baby when you're near
You love Fun Dip and Cherry Coke
I like the way you laugh when
I tell a joke When I met
you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrobie and Fitch
Chorus 3
New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think its fly when girls stop by for the
summer,for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
since that summer
In the summertime girls got it goin' on
Shake and wiggle to a hip-hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
Boogaloo shrimp and pogo sticks
My mind takes me back there oh so quick
Let you off the hook like my man Mr. Limpit
Think about that summer and I bug cause I miss it
Like the color purple, macaroni and cheese
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees
Call you up, but what's the use
I like Kevin Bacon, but I hate Footloose
You came in the door I said it before
I think I'm over you, but I'm really not sure
When I met you I said my name was Rich
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch
Chorus 4
New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think its fly when girls stop by for the
summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that summer,
since that summer
In the summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worthwhile and some are so so
Summer girls come and summer girls go
Some are worthwhile and some are so so
Summertime girls got it goin' on
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song
Summertime girls are the kind I like
I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike
Chorus 5:

those are the worst lyrics ive ever read ever.

i doubt they will play the beginning in the stores, since they usually just have techno music blasting. i will definitely get very excited if i hear it, though. i mean.. i don't shop there or anything..
i will dig a tunnel from my window to yours.

It always grated on my nerves that they nicked that Beasties line. They were not nearly cool enough to borrow from the Beastie Boys.
